Neil Young the Best!!

[deepfreezevideo]

It wasn't aired because the clearances were an issue but I heard that it will be on DVD.

Elton John and Leon Russell, a DREAM COME TRUE!!!

[cheppelin]

@hoarse01 he sings better than Dylan since the late 90's. Don't get me wrong, Bob is a legend but his singing has developed awfully.

[XTRAKRUNCHY]

I SAW NEIL YOUNG TODAY AT THE 7/11 --- HE WAS BUYING A PACK O SMOKES AND A SLIM JIM -- REGULAR GUY

[DUBtheTIGER]

@hoarse01 you know that the man is really, really old, right? Not everyone is like Neil Young or Tina Turner. He wasn't amazing in his youth, but he sure as hell isn't awful.

@chiennoir54 No talent? That's not an opinion, but an untrue statement. You may not like her for whatever reasons you have, but obviously she has made it far in the music community, and not by accident. Have you really listened to her music? And to say she's hideous, that's just a ruthless insult that holds no meaning other than putting you in a bad light.

[Ingr9821]

Hoarse01 if you had accomplished .01% of what Leon Russell has then you have permission to talk shit about him.  Jackass.

Neil Young is a brillant artist and an awesome song writer
